it is safe

sorry, there are no stylus that are compatible with the Hi12 except for the HiPen

[Richard Russell]

did it have a low or dead battery when you got on the plane? I’ve seen cases of this tablet not recovering from a fully discharged battery

Take the $40 and consider it a victory dealing with international electronics distributors

try Google Chrome with the ublock origin and ghostery extensions.

So… I’m having a weird issue. Chip identifies in CH341a 1.29 WITHOUT the 1.8v adapter. Attaching the adapter, it cannot identify the chip. Same 1.8v adapter as everyone has pictured here, in the correct orientation… Wondering if I should just give it a whirl and attempt to flash without the 1.8v adapter…

I tried it without the adapter, it was able to identify the chip too but it fried it miserably

I just got my hi12 today. I noticed that the screen noticed that the screen won’t always respond to light touches. Has anyone removed the screen protector? Did that help? I’m coming from a dell venue 8 which had great touch response.

Android does not respond to light touches as well as windows does. It would also be unwise to remove the screen protector because this glass scratches easily.

sorry!

Why can’t it download to SD card or USB!!

There is an ISO, those are bootable from USB if you copy the ISO to a bootable usb using Rufus or a similar program

The new Skype Preview works well

I don’t like the way it’s eliminated the moveable video preview when you have another window active. It’s now a notification bar that projects out the bottom right, and interferes with my ability to change volume through the taskbar unless skype is the active window

Remix OS 20160530 installed and rooted! Works better than default android rom (I will post root method later if anybody interested)

@Paternick (Carlos) I’ve been experimenting a lot with this, and I’m dying to know how you were able to get a verified boot enabled (user) build of android to accept a modified system file at startup by simply flashing it in Intel Phone Flash Tool.

From my crash course in android over the past few days, i don’t think this is happening unless a userdebug version of the ROM gets released. The reason why we were able to root the last version of Android is because Chuwi released it as a userdebug version out of the box, so we were able to disable verity (verified boot) through fastboot. using a simple adb command adb disable-verity
Plus, even if KingRoot or some other soft root method worked, it would just chmod back to a read only file system the next time the tablet booted…
I really hope I’m wrong and that Carlos comes back with a working system.img to prove it, but from where I’m standing and with my limited experience, I think our best chance of getting root is to urge Chuwi to release a userdebug build build of Remix OS like they did with the Android build the Dual Boot shipped with.

I think there’s some incompatibility with latest version of RMXtools as the older 1.5 can extract the system.img. https://mega.nz/#!ClgFRZZa!2hKWWLpgDRQrDo_4RjSBJyvPvoH9MfSnEYgSTgaVUS0 I will wait for someone with a bit more experience before I try reflashing anything

got it unpacked and rooted again, but 1.5 will not repack. Considering that I had this step completed when I unpacked in linux, I doubt re-packing with yaffs2 in linux would yield different results, so I guess I’ll wait patiently as well

[Richard Russell]

Tried rooting it… so I unpacked system.img in Ext4 linux, moved the system folder to NTFS, rooted with RMX tools 1.7, moved system folder back to Ext4 in linux, repacked as system.img with yaffs2, and then tried flashing it in Intel PFT and it failed =/

any ideas?

[Richard Russell]

I’m trying to extract system.img using RMXtools v1.7, but I get an error “Can’t open as archive.” Trying manually with 7zip I get the same results. Is anyone else running into this issue? The same file flashed onto my tablet just fine, so I can’t imagine it’s corrupted.

[Richard Russell]

Does this Remix OS put android touch responsiveness on par with Windows? That’s my biggest complaint about stock Android

[Richard Russell]

thanks, this fixed a disabled wifi issue I was having!
